Champions League Race: Milan, Juventus, Roma, and Como battle for two spots

Source: Retesport

Roma's victory over Fiorentina has set up a decisive final three-game stretch in the Serie A title race. With four clubs competing for two Champions League places, the current standings show Milan on 67 points, Juventus 65, Roma 64, and Como 62. Roma's win moved them two points clear of Como, establishing the framework for what is effectively a three-week mini-league that will likely determine Champions League qualification in the final 90 minutes of the season.

Roma's remaining fixtures include an away match at Parma, a home Derby della Capitale against Lazio, and a final away trip to Verona. Among the contenders, Como appears to have the most favorable draw on paper, with two away matches (Verona and Cremonese) and one home game against Parma. Juventus faces Lecce away, then Fiorentina at home, before concluding with the Turin derby against Torino. Milan's challenge is compressed into the next two matches—a home game against Atalanta followed by a trip to Marassi to face Genoa—with a final fixture against Cagliari at San Siro.

The fixture congestion means that some outcomes could be decided before the final round, depending on how results unfold across the leading four clubs.

Gasp dovrà affrontare ancora il Parma in trasferta, poi il derby casalingo con la Lazio e infine il Verona fuori casa. E le altre? Il cammino più agevole sulla carta è quello del Como che avrà due partite in trasferta (la prossima con il Verona e l’ultima con la Cremonese) e una in casa con il Parma. La Juventus partirà nel prossimo weekend da Lecce, dove DiFra è a caccia degli ultimi punti salvezza. Poi affronterà la Fiorentina in casa e il derby col Toro nell’ultima giornata. Il Milan invece si gioca tutto nelle prossime due sfide: la gara casalinga con l’Atalanta, poi la sfida a Marassi contro un Genoa però già salvo. Ultima col Cagliari a San Siro.

Gasperini's May momentum: Roma seek late-season surge with three matches to play

Roma moved closer to the Champions League places following a 4–0 victory over Fiorentina on 4 May, with three matches remaining against Parma, Lazio, and Verona. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini's track record in May has been strong at his previous club. During the 2023–24 season with Atalanta, Gasperini recorded 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 defeat across league and Europa League matches in May, ultimately securing fourth place and winning the Europa League. One of those victories included a 2–1 win over Roma under former manager Daniele De Rossi, which proved decisive in Atalanta's push. The following season, Atalanta finished third with 3 wins and 1 defeat in May. Gasperini's success in the month extends further back. Between 2019 and 2021, his record stood at 6 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss across May fixtures. Roma now aim to capitalize on this pattern and maintain their push for European football. With the title and top-four places still up for grabs, the closing matches of the season represent a critical test of Gasperini's tactical approach and the squad's ability to perform under pressure.

Gasperini's May form: How Roma can follow Atalanta's late-season blueprint

Roma have moved closer to the Champions League places following a 4–0 victory over Fiorentina at the start of May, with three matches remaining against Parma, Lazio, and Verona. Head coach Gian Piero Gasperini has a proven track record of strong finishes in May with his previous club Atalanta, demonstrating that late-season momentum can be decisive for European qualification. In the 2023–24 season, Gasperini's Atalanta recorded six wins, one draw, and one loss across league and Europa League matches during May, ultimately finishing fourth in Serie A while winning the Europa League title. Among those victories was a 2–1 result over Roma, which proved crucial for Atalanta's push. The following season, Atalanta achieved three wins and one loss in May en route to a third-place finish. Looking further back to 2019–2021, Gasperini's May record across those years showed six wins, four draws, and one defeat. Roma now seek a similar run of success to maintain their Champions League hopes and avoid breaking a positive trend as the season reaches its climax.
